What dopers are you thankful for or appreciate even if they may not be aware of it?

Thanks to Kytheria for calling me a sweetheart. :o

Thanks to Eve for being here. Whenever she posts in a thread I started I feel like I’ve been touched by a celebrity.

Wow. Gotta do a vanity search once in a while, or I would have missed it.

Damn straight. And Debaser, and John Mace, for holding up their end, and LeftHandofDorkness for holding up the other.

And SentientMeat - those Political Compass threads were good. Who else? Practically everybody - UncleBeer for gun threads, lieu for fart threads.

Thanks, I try.

Regards,
Shodan

Left Hand of Dorkness, Miller, and monstro are the people I always want to hear from.

Wow, I thought this topic was all but done for when it slipped to the 3rd page or so with only 7 posts…

Hey, cool!! I came into to mention you, Kythereia! :smiley: Yes, I’m thankful for all the ToroDopers here and plus:

  • Anaamika: because she’s so funny and cool…and she’s really pretty.
  • flamingbananas, Dark Side of the Floyd, PinkNailFile, The OnlySaneOne and all the other TeenDopers around here. I don’t feel so alone.
  • Shirley Ujest and Hal Briston: she makes me laugh.
  • Anastaseon: If she weren’t around, penis never would’ve ensued.
  • Urban Chic: Never really talked to her or seen her around, but I like her. And she likes My Chemical Romance, too. (If you read this, then hi!!)

Shirley Ujest and Rue DeDay, for making me laugh.
NoClueBoy for all the great Trek memories and a bunch of other weirdness.
Aesiron for the ENT and other things.
PunditLisa for her insights.
Cervaise for his reviews and in-depth analyses.
Mr. Blue Sky for starting so many cool threads.
The other teachers and education folks around here: Manatee, pseudotriton ruber ruber, celestina, silenus, Yamirskoonir, and yes, I feel bad about forgetting some names right now, but I swear I’m thinking about them too.

:smack:

…they make me laugh.”

D’oh.

Campion for being one hot lawyer
AndyPolley for reading my posts - and doing vanity searches
Polycarp
GorillaMan for his musical knowledge and all-round spunkiness
Excalibre my favourite “angry young man” (and very good in the linguistic threads - taught him all he knows!)
Polycarp for an unusual combination of nuttiness and erudition

I’m thankful for all the regular posters, too many to name. You know, the popular kids who type all the time. Quite entertaining. I learn towards the funny ones, not a big fan of serious ones or those who argue.

The one member I’d like to say a personal “thank you” to is LouisB. He loves his Darling Marcie so much, it gives me hope that someday, someone will love me the way he loves her.

See! I told you I’d forget somebody!
Mr. Blue Sky

Validation! Sweet, sweet validation!

Lucretia, Bluesman, ShibbOleth, and bouv.
Some truly irreplaceable real-life friends.
-foxy

Hey, now! We prefer to be called “sanity challenged”, thankyouverymuch!

Wow. Uh… heh. Don’t know what to say. Heh. :flustered:

JoeSki and Chimpy’re mine.

And of course, Bricker!

Pretty much all of 'em (except for the few total dipsticks).

With special thanks to those from outside the U.S.A., for lending their international perspective to the boards.

And to ultrafilter, for his Essential Music Library project, among other things (like being a math geek).

I’m thankful for most posters here, but I’m especially fond of a few.

Idle Thoughts, naturally, for so many interesting topics, and lately, letting me see the man behind such topics, and for not sounding like my ex, after all :smiley:

Anastasaeon, for being so darn cute and funny

TheOnlySaneOne, for making me feel like a dirty old woman

Sampiro, for hilarious yet cringeworthy family stories

Anaamika, for also being darn cute and funny, and my offical permanent girl-crush

**Roland Orzabal, ** for being damn fine, making me think, and making me laugh

Ladyfoxfyre and Shibb0leth for taking me places and making me feel not lonely when I was down in Florida.

Eonwe cause he’s from Vermont, too.

Qadgop, for good, sound, medical knowledge, but never advice.

Oh, and Hal Briston for letting us all know how good sex with other mammels can be. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sometimes somebody posts a really funny one-liner in a thread, but it’s so good that there’s no way to follow it up, so nobody quotes it and the conversation moves on to other things. It seems like a waste of bandwidth to quote it and say something trite like “ROTF and spitting up on my keyboard”–in fact, I hate when people do that. So the remark hangs in the ether and sometimes I think the poster thinks that, because nobody responded, nobody thought it was funny, when in fact just the opposite was the case.

So my Thanksgiving is for all the Dopers who post really funny one-offs that never get acknowledged!

beagledave and Stratocaster. I think they know why. :slight_smile:
